New Acme Laptop a gamer’s dream

Hold onto your hats. The new Acme LPG370TS lunchbox computer comes with three 17-inch high-res LCD screens into it’s portable briefcase style computer. Under the hood is an Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4GHz processor, 2GB RAM, Dual nVidia 8800GTX cards in SLI mode, 8 channel audio, Firewire 400 and USB connections, and a Dual Gigabit LAN. WOW. That’s some serious portable gaming power. Especially if you’re a digital fighter jock looking to shoot down some bad guys in cyberspace.

Walkstation gives you a workout

Not at a gym, mind you, but at work itself. This standing height desk is hooked up to a treadmill, helping you burn up additional calories while you’re trying to be productive for your boss. One thing’s for sure - either sweat absorbing and fast drying business suits will be all the rage in the upcoming fashion season, or most people will go to work in the gym attire should the Walkstation actually catch on big time. My guess is neither, as only a select few will take advantage of this unique multi-tasking office furniture. It will retail for $6,500 when released - and unless you use it regularly instead of going to the gym, you probably won’t see a very positive ROI on this one.

Fit-PC Sips on 5W of Power, Is Super Tiny

From CompuLab, the Fit-PC is a tiny, no frills Linux PC that uses a mere 5W of power to operate. That's one-fifth what some computers burn in standby. And the specs may be better than you'd expect. An AMD Geode processor runs at 500 MHz, supported by 256MB DDR memory (non-expandable), 40GB 2.5" hard drive and SXGA graphics controller. And none of that needs fans to cool. The inclusion of 2 USB ports mean that the Fit-PC will actually work with normal peripherals...though we're not certain how much power those ports will supply your devices.

At 5" long and only 1.5" thick, the Fit-PC will fit anywhere. And at $285, we think we're in eco-love. But what did ExtremeTech have to say about the function?

We fired up Firefox and spent some time browsing the web. Some Flash-intensive web sites rendered slowly, but most web browsing seemed no worse than running on an older laptop with integrated graphics. We also loaded up OpenOffice apps to check them out. After we had six windows (and six apps) running, the system definitely became sluggish...

While you can build a PC that's nearly as inexpensive, or buy a used laptop for not much more, the fit-PC's unique form factor gives it an edge in any environment where space is at a premium.

Also, its extremely low power usage means you can keep the system running all the time. In any application that requires always-on usage and a light duty applications mix, the fit-PC may indeed be an ideal fit.
